Illustrated by
Elizabeth Miles.
In Paxton's reworked lullaby, Jenny and her rabbit and a small menagerie run away for a few pre-bedtime adventures, having cookies and oolong tea and dancing as they sail a ship on the "starlight sea." The nonsense-infused rhymes are charming, and Miles's moonlight-drenched paintings featuring a puckish, nightgown-clad Jennifer will put readers in that sleepy-time mood.
